Episode 129 Opponents in the quarterfinals
(Today two more shifts, a friend of mine came to ask me in the morning, saying that Fonda is all dunks, and all the points scored are two points, how can there be an odd number of 37 points, for this I can only say that I have written before, for example, Fonda directly in front of Sakii and the person who dunked it violently also caused Sakii's thug to foul and get a penalty opportunity, Fonda has so many violent dunks that cause a lot of opportunities for two plus one, so it is normal for the final score to be an odd number, originally many people should know these details, but in order to prevent a small number of readers from noticing and thinking that I wrote it wrong, so I will explain it here.) 。 Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info)
In the game with the U.S. national youth team, we played well, and Paul and Howard told them as early as the last time they met that they couldn't play, and they didn't think it was strange, but surprisingly Paul and Howard seemed to be very face-saving to the Chinese national youth, and often waterproof from time to time, but even so, the American national youth is still not something that the Chinese national youth can compete with, but this time we played very well as a whole, and it was very different from when the Japanese national youth played, even if I didn't play, I might not necessarily lose to the Japanese national youth。
Maybe it was Paul and Howard who infected the whole team, and in the end, the whole American team was very face-saving, so that we could also practice tactical cooperation very well. By the end of the game, the score was 102-76, and we only lost by 26 points, which is also the fewest points won by the U.S. national youth team so far.
We lost the game, but we were all very happy because we had secured a place in the quarterfinals, and we were able to experience the young generation of the United States without any baggage, and we all played very well in this game. It's a nice treat, but I'm a bit of a tragedy that I didn't play, alas......
And the results of the other two matches in the final round of Group A in addition to us also came out, Japan 63:75 New Zealand, France 84:73 Germany.
Although Japan is a little weaker than New Zealand in terms of strength, it is completely possible to win the game by relying on the advantages of the right time, place and people, but who told them to play against China in the last game? Who told them to provoke the basketball tyrant? In this game, the Japanese national youth were listless, and April 7 was destined to become an indelible shadow in the hearts of all of them, and they were all shrouded in shadows. It's good that it wasn't slaughtered by New Zealand, but New Zealand is also merciful, and finally released the water, otherwise the difference would not be only 12 points. And Japan has also sadly become a country that has not won a single game in this group, and it is a loss on its home turf, but it deserves that they should provoke China so much and provoke the emperor's slaughter, otherwise it may be no problem to win New Zealand at home in the end.
After all, France's strength is stronger than Germany, and finally won the game with an advantage of 11 points, but the group qualification has nothing to do with them, Group A is the United States and China at the end, the World Youth Championships is really cruel, but this is no way, there are more countries participating in the World Youth Championships, although this time because the host venue is in Japan, this time Asia did not select the four countries that are the strongest in tradition, and other continents have been selected, but there are still many countries participating in the final competition, so there is no way to be so cruel。
In the end, only China succeeded in qualifying from the four participating countries in Asia, which once again proves that China's basketball is the first in Asia!
On April 10th, the table for the quarterfinals also came out, and all of us gathered in Jiang Xingquan's room, and then all of us looked solemn again, because our opponent in the quarterfinals was Spain!
Spain, this is a world-class powerhouse! Its strength is not at all comparable to that of France and Germany! It can be said that its basketball strength is the absolute top country in Europe, and it is also one of the favorites to win the World Youth Championship! I didn't expect that our first opponent in the quarterfinals would have to play with them!
I frowned, once I traveled to the future for more than a month to continue to understand the future of basketball news, today's Spain should be said to be one of the strongest basketball countries in addition to the United States, in this period Spain's strength is slightly weaker than Argentina, but in the future, Spain will surpass Argentina, of course, that is only the future, but even now, Spain is definitely on an equal footing with Argentina, I know, this Spanish national youth team is absolutely very scary, but now I am starting to worry about another problem, Spain U20 is indeed terrible, but from the future trendOf course, their current strength is not as good as Spain's U20, after all, the age is there, but I think this year's Spain U17 will be stronger than Argentina's U17! Spain U17 will determine whether Spain can surpass Argentina in the future!
Of course, U17 is not what I should worry about, but I still can't help but worry about Duan Li, Maple Leaf Jiehong, of course, now we have to worry, Spain U20 is strong from their current national team, we can probably see that we must not compare them with France, Germany, these two teams, this time we are also really facing challenges, really facing the world's first-class team! This time is different from when the U.S. national youth team played, at that time it didn't matter if we won or lost, but now we have to go home once we lose, of course, the quarterfinals have completed the goal set for us by the country, but since we have all struggled here, of course we have to fight to a higher place!
Now the biggest problem is that our team lacks Yu Jianhui, if there is Yu Jianhui, the game will definitely be much easier, but this is all if, unless we reach the finals, otherwise Yu Jianhui will not be able to play the next game, of course, everyone dare not think about reaching the finals, but Jiang Xingquan still did not let Yu Jianhui return to China, because his heart also hoped that we could reach the finals, of course, at the beginning, Jiang Xingquan did not dare to think like this at all, because my performance made him feel that maybe we really have hope to reach the finals。
Then Jiang Xingquan immediately analyzed the characteristics of those teams and players in Spain, and after understanding these characteristics, we also had to conduct targeted training.
Spain's starting point guard Arcedo, his characteristics are a bit similar to the German team's point guard Adenauer, they are low-key, but dare to underestimate him will inevitably pay a heavy price, belonging to the stinger type, it's okay not to shoot, but once he shoots, it will inevitably give the opponent a headache.
Spain's backup point guard Angel is also a figure to be reckoned with, his strength is similar to Acedo, especially in terms of scoring ability, compared to Acedo, he is only strong and not weak, but slightly inferior in organization.
Then there is the main scoring guard Ben Shaming, which is also the most tricky figure in addition to the Spanish leader Augusto, with a strong scoring ability, with a height of 2.01 meters, which is also a headache for me, it seems that I have to suffer a big loss in height, his ability, especially the scoring ability, is far better than the French leader Charles de Gaulle, which is a huge challenge for me!
Spain's main small forward, that is, the captain of the entire Spanish national youth team is also the leader Augusto, who is only 2.01 meters tall like Ben Hamin, but he is more versatile than Ben Hamin! It can be said that he is almost the same type as de Gaulle, of course, he is much stronger than de Gaulle, although his physical confrontation is not strong, but his shooting and breakthrough are headaches! And it is said that his hands are very long! He is the one with the longest hand in terms of physical proportions among the Spanish national youth! After the group stage, no country has been able to limit this person until now!
Spain's substitute also has a small forward, named De Qiao, who is 2.03 meters tall and also has strong individual ability, which is also the most headache for us, because our substitute small forward Meng Ling will inevitably be beaten in the face of him!
Spain's main big forward Caton, only 2.06 meters tall, although his body is a little fat, moving slowly, not like a big forward, but his physical confrontation ability is frightening!
Substitute power forward Celso, who is also only 2.06 meters tall, but he is very similar to Albert of the French team, with super long arms, very flexible, and excellent hook skills, which has to give our substitutes a headache!
Spain's center Nishizawa, although he is only 2.08 meters tall, his characteristics are similar to Caton, but his fat is less than Caton, but he has more muscles, and his body is strong, although his movements are not very neat, but his arms are very long, his physical confrontation ability and hook skills are very good, and his mid-range shooting is also very good, and I even heard that he can shoot three points...... Seeing this, I think he is actually more suitable for playing power forward than Caton, but if you think about it, his height and arm length are better than Caton, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with standing in the center position.
Spain also has a backup center Renato, who is 2.13 meters tall and only 19 years old, lacks experience and is not very mature in all aspects, but it should not be underestimated, his skills are also very difficult, and it is said that his basket footsteps often catch opponents off guard!
After analyzing Spain, all of us looked more solemn, because we are about to face a problem that we have almost never encountered before! That is, the gap between the substitutes! Spain's main force is already strong and frightening, but their substitutes also have the strength that makes our main force afraid! Once the main force needs to rest, then our substitutes will be beaten into a sieve by them!
We were not idle, we immediately set off to the basketball stadium to train, after the World Youth Championship quarterfinals came out, our eight countries have their own training venues, this is also to allow us to better meet the quarterfinals, presumably, the quarterfinals will be a place for the top players.
Without any pause, we immediately started training, and Jiang Xingquan assigned targeted training tasks for each of us, especially the substitutes.
Somewhere at this time.
A very beautiful woman walked into a room, which was more than 200 square meters in size and very luxuriously decorated.
"Oh, 'Thousand Faces**', it's a great honor to have you, your arrival has given us hope for the Adena Empire to move forward!" the middle-aged man stood up and said, this person was none other than Ishida Taiga, the boss of the Abara Empire, and next to him stood a middle-aged man, it was Toyoshi Madya.
"Looks like you're in any trouble?" asked the woman named "Thousand Faces" with a smile.
"Ah, yes, a Chinese, a Chinese we can't deal with, I hope I can ask you for help!" Ishida Taiga said.
"Oh? I can't even deal with you? Listen to what you mean, it seems that there is only one Chinese?" The woman smiled, this smile seemed to be able to hook off people's souls! Ishida Taiga and Maguya Toyoyoshi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, because they almost fell into this woman's way!
"Yes, that Chinese is too strong! We can't deal with it, we need your help, we don't need you to kill him, we just need to do a favor, and then Ishida Taiga will leave the matter of killing him to us!"
"Hehe, I want to see who has such great ability to make the boss of the heavenly house afraid. The woman still showed that seductive smile, and Ishida Taiga and Toyoyoshi Masaya immediately turned their heads and didn't dare to look at her.
"However, I also said that I have nothing to do with the Alaya Empire, I am one of the gold medal killers of the Killer Alliance, I hope that if you provoke any big shots, you will not be involved in us, otherwise, you know what will happen!" The woman's face suddenly changed, and both Ishida Taiga and Mareya Toyoyoshi couldn't help but shudder.
"No, no......" Ishida Taiga hurriedly said.
Seeing the anxious and scared looks of Ishida Taiga and Toyoshi Mareya, the woman smiled again: "Don't worry, since you hired me, I will definitely complete the task required by the employer, say, what do you need me to do? ”
Ishida Taiga and Masaya Toyoyoshi breathed a sigh of relief.
……
"Thousand Faces **" left.
"Dahe, is this female killer called 'Thousand Faces**' really reliable?" said Toyoshi Mareya, he was still scared, because the shadow left by Fang Lifeng was too deep.
"Do you know why she is called 'Thousand Faces'?" Ishida Taiga said, "Because she knows how to disguise, her face can change in a thousand ways! Don't look at her just now like a beautiful girl in her 20s, this is not her true face, her real age is more than 40 years old." Of course, her disguise has a human skin mask, but based on this, I think that Fang Lifeng may really be able to try!"
Mad House Toyoshi sighed heavily, no matter what Ishida Taiga said, he was still afraid, because Fang Lifeng was too powerful, and to kill him was something that Mad House Toyoshi had never dared to think about.
"I've put up with it again and again!I didn't expect his son to dare to hurt my nephew Gengu on the basketball court! So I must kill him!" Ishida Taihe suddenly showed a hideous face, "As long as Fang Lifeng is killed, then his son Fangda will be slaughtered by us! No matter how strong Fang Da is, he is only 15 years old after all, I don't believe that we can't solve him!"
Mad House Toyoyoshi was silent and didn't speak, Ishida Dahe's nephew is the Japanese national youth Mizujo Gengu, since he was a child, Mizujo Gengu was raised by Ishida Dahe when his parents died, and Ishida Dahe has no wife and no children, so he loves this nephew very much, strictly speaking, it has reached the level of extreme short-sightedness.
……
On the morning of April 11th, we finally ended the day's training, although this training is mainly for substitutes, but our main force is not comfortable, constantly practicing the tactical coordination of joint defense and attack, maybe I can play individualism with Germany and France, but with Spain I will play individualism if I am too risky!
Spain is characterized by being more able to play fast breaks, although the fast break ability is slightly weaker than Argentina's, but it is definitely the most powerful fast attack among the opponents we have encountered so far, except for the United States, of course...... Another point of Spain is that their defense is very tight, we have to find a breakthrough in the attack, and another point is the problem of Spain's race, we are yellow, and we are naturally inferior to blacks and whites in the system, Spain They also have a characteristic that each player's physical strength is very good, which is also a headache for us, not to mention that Spain they also have a strong substitute, which is really bad for us.
After training, this afternoon, I went out to take a walk alone, I was afraid that Jiang Xingquan would be angry after knowing why I didn't show up on time in the game with Japan and then began to strictly manage the daily life of each of our players, but to my surprise, Jiang Xingquan didn't do this, he just sighed, and then didn't say anything, in fact, I was really lucky, in the past, the national youth team was very strictly managed, almost no freedom, so I have to be grateful to Jiang Xingquan in the future!
I was lying on the lawn in Arakawa Park with my hands plugged in, and now my head was worried about the Spanish game.
"Why, are you still worried?" a familiar voice came.
"Dad, why are you here?" I asked, "Seeing that you are idle every day, don't you have to take care of your three companies?"
"Leave it to the newcomers to do it, and I'll take a break here. Dad replied with a smile.
"Dad, I've found that we've become more like brothers since you exposed your true nature. I said.
"Of course, father and son are like brothers. "Dad also lay on the lawn with me with his hands plugged in.
"Ugh......" I sighed again.
"Are you worrying about tomorrow's game again?" said Dad.
"Yes, tomorrow's opponent is stronger than ever. I said.
"Have faith, it's not like you to be so melancholy. Dad said.
"I want to, too, but I don't really have much confidence. I sighed.
"It's not okay if you don't have confidence, I'll tell you the truth, you are the key to deciding whether China can defeat Spain. Dad said solemnly.
"What?" I froze.
"Yes, it's not just Spain, if you think about it, isn't every victory in the World Youth Championships won by China because of you?!" said my father.
"This ......" I was stunned again, but when I think about it, it seems that this is really the case, is it the case again this time?
I was silent, staring blankly at the sky.
……
On April 12, the match between the Chinese national youth and the Spanish national youth started at the Tokyo Basketball Stadium!
only to see the ball thrown into the air by the referee, Dong Guoqiang and Nishizawa jumped up at the same time, each stretched out their hands to try to touch the ball one step ahead of the other party.
